Pop star Katy Perry ignited debate this week after sharing inflammatory statements about illegal immigration on her social media platforms.
The Grammy-nominated artist used her Instagram Stories on Tuesday to amplify a message claiming that illegal migrants are being persecuted in what she characterized as their native territory.
Perry shared content suggesting that current immigration enforcement efforts amount to persecution of people in their rightful homeland.
The post promoted the controversial assertion that illegal migrants represent descendants of California’s original builders and inhabitants.
Perry’s shared message attempted to frame current immigration policy through a historical lens spanning centuries of territorial control.
“Los Angeles has lived under three flags: Spain, Mexico, and the United States,” the message started.
“That land has seen borders shift, power, change, hands, and yet the people, especially the brown and indigenous people, have always been there.”
“Planting roots, building lives, raising families,” the message added.
The content Perry endorsed escalated its rhetoric by characterizing current immigration enforcement as a form of persecution.
“And now, in 2025 the descendants of those same communities are being hunted, like criminals and their own ancestral home,” the message continued.
Perry’s post expressed outrage at what it characterized as contradictory treatment of migrant communities.
“It’s more than infuriating, it’s a deep injustice. How can a city built on Mexican labor, Mexican history and Mexican culture turn around and criminalize the very people who shaped it?” the shared content asked.
The entertainer’s message appeared to question the legitimacy of current U.S. territorial sovereignty over California.
Perry endorsed claims suggesting that Mexican territorial rights supersede current legal frameworks governing immigration and citizenship.
“This was once Mexican land, and the people being targeted today are often descendants of those who have lived here for generations, or who came seeking safety, work, and dignity,” the message stated.
The post Perry shared overlooked key historical facts regarding California’s legal transition to U.S. control, according to Breitbart News.
California became U.S. territory through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which legally concluded the Mexican-American War.
The United States compensated Mexico with $15 million as part of this legitimate territorial transfer agreement.
Perry’s endorsed message praised illegal immigrants’ economic contributions while criticizing their treatment under current law.
“Many undocumented immigrants are quietly holding up the economy with their labor, raising families, paying taxes, and contributing to communities, yet they are vilified and dignity,” the shared content claimed.
The social media post concluded with calls for immigration reform without addressing enforcement complexities.
Breitbart noted that Perry’s message failed to acknowledge the administrative challenges created by millions of illegal border crossings during recent years.
Perry made headlines back in April during an unexpected clash with fast food chain Wendy’s.
The restaurant chain’s social media team launched a series of pointed remarks about the singer after her Blue Origin flight, leading to backlash from fans and fellow space travelers alike.
When Pop Crave celebrated the singer’s return to Earth on social media, Wendy’s official X account responded with the cutting question: “Can we send her back?”
